Miss Leota Duke Will Become Superintendent Walton County Hospital (From Walton News) Miss Rose Delay, who, for two or three years, has served so proficient ly as superintendent or head nurse at the hospital, has given up the place—a matter of general regret— and the first of the month will leave for Atlanta, and following a much needed rest, she plans to re-enter the work at another of Georgia’s most splendid sanitariums.

Dismukes) Dahlonega, Ga.—The North Geor gia College Glee Club will appear in concert at the Jefferson High School auditorium Tuesday evening, April 9> at eight o’clock. Admission prices will be fifteen and twenty cents. The concert is being sponsored-by the Woman’s missionary society of the Methodist church. The North Georgia College Glee Club has been exceptionally well re ceived on the road. Director W. Desmond Booth has well exhibited his talents as organizer, conductor, pianist, and composer. The excell ent chorus of twenty voices features semi-classical chorals, negro spirit uals, and two of Mr. Booth’s own compositions. A splendid cornet soloist, a male quartet, and a comic brass-trio add variety to the first half of the program. The second half is devoted to the tragi-comic operetta, “Julius Sneezer,” libretto by Joel Martin, and music by Pro fessors Booth and C. J. Dismukes. Brutus and his conspirators try every means to kill Julius, but still that man just will not die. All of Cleo patra’s exquisite charms fail. Final ly Brutus invents a sneezing powder containing a haystack full of hay, bats’ teeth, and gnats’ toe-nails. The result is—er—pardon my—Kerchoo! Better Housing For Jackson County No group of workers has been harder hit by the depression than those of the building industry. New construction has dropped nearly 90% from what it was in 1926-29. Until these workers are re-employ ed, no community can enjoy a full measure of prosperity. The last Congress recognized this fact, and passed the National Hous ing Act. This Act should make a vailable, through private lending agencies, approximately $1,000,000,- 000 for financing alterations, re pairs and improvements of all type of property, and at the lowest charg es ever offered for this type of loan. How a Better Housing Program Benefits a City: 1. Stimulates all types of busi ness. A large part of every dollar spent for modernizing goes direct to labor. Most of this money imme diately is put back into the channels of retail trade. 2. Reduces relief expenditures. For every building tradesman put to work, it is estimated that a family of four "can be taken from relief rolls. 3. Improves value and appearance of property. Much necessary maintenance and repair work has been deferred in re cent years, due to force of circum stances. Returns from a recent CWA real property inventory ‘shows that in every city at least half of the homes are in need of repair, many of them being in very bad condition. The making of needed repairs not only a property and increases its usefulness and value, but generally improves the beauty and appearance of a city or community. A modern ization campaign is a worth while civic enterprise which appeals to all those interested in improving the condition of their community. Jackson County Better Housing Program was set up Monday, April 1, with headquarters in the court house, with the following workers: A statistician, secretary, and three canvassers. STATE INCOME TAXES BRING IN $1,750,455.29 Income taxes paid to the state of Georgia in 1934 amounted to sl,- 750,455.29, an increase of more than $700,000 over the 1933 collections, State Auditor Tom Wisdom reported Friday. The report was contained in an audit of the state revenue commis sion, which also collected the state cigar and cigaret tax and the gross receipts tax. Favoring the bonus bill, Arthur Brisbane says, two billions spent m every corner of the United States, and spent promptly, would certainly make business happier, money more plentiful, and “prime the pump.” sand Islands where he and his bride will spend the greater part of the summer. JEFFERSON, Jackson County, Georgia. A Notable Occasion, National Ether Day Jefferson had the honor Saturday afternoon of entertaining quite a number of distinguished guests, who were here to take part in the cele bration of “National Ether Day,” and to honor the town’s most emin ent son, Dr. Crawford W. Long, who on March 30, 1842, took agony out of surgical operating rooms by dis covering the art of anaesthesia. In terest in the program was increased by the unveiling of a bust of Dr. Long, a work of art from the hands of Dr.* George Noble of Atlanta. The exercises were presided over by Mayor George W. Westmoreland, and were held in the Institute audi torium. Seated on the platform were Col. Westmoreland, Dr. Max Cutler of Chicago, Dr. Frank Bo land, Dr. George Noble, Dr. Garnet Quillian, of Atlanta, Mr. E. C. Long, Sr., and Mr. E. C. Long, Jr., of Ath ens, Dr. and Mrs. L. G. Hardman of Commerce, Dr. C. B. Lord, Col. J. S. Ayers, Rev. J. A. Gray, Professor H. J. W. Kizer and J. N. Holder. Among the visitors seated in the audience were Mr. and Mrs. John B. Hardman, Dr. and Mrs. Rogers, Mr. and Mrs. M. B. Clinkscales, Mrs. C. E. Pittman and Professor and Mrs. Mauphon of Commerce, Mrs. E. C. Long, Mrs. Leta Talmadge, Miss Ad die Montgomery and Mr. and Mrs. Reece of Athens, Mrs. George No ble, Mrs. Tolivar, Mr. and Mrs. Cut- ler, Sr., of Atlanta. Following an introductory speech and address of welcome by Mayor Westmoreland, Dr. Frank Boland was introduced. He delivered a most interesting address. Other speak ers were Dr. Cutler, Dr. Quillian, Dr. Hardman, and Mr. Holder. The bust was presented on be half of Dr. Noble by Judge J. S. Ay ers and was unveiled by E. C. Long, Jr., great-grandson of the noted sur geon. Professor H. J. W. Kizer ac cepted the bust for the town and In stitute. The bust will be enclosed in a glass ease, and will be on display at all times in the library of the Institute. This article would not be com plete without giving honor for the arrangement of the program, and the gift of the bust to whom it is due, Mr. W. H. Smith. Mr. Smith has been untiring for many years, giving of his time and money towards ob taining either a statue or bust of Dr. Long, and it was through his ef forts that Dr. Noble’s work of art was presented to Jefferson. Mr. Smith has organized the Crawford W. Long Memorial and Endowment Association, and through this chan nel will continue to interest others in recognizing in a substantial way Dr. Long’s great gift to the nation. PREPARE FOR WAR, KEEP NEUTRALITY, BARUCH TELLS U. S Washington.—A direct warning came today from Bernard M. Baruch that the United States must pre serve the most rigid neutrality, in the event of European war, but that, at the same time, it would be well to “keep our powder dry.” Speaking earnestly to the senate munitions committee from the depth of his experience as chairman of the war industries board under Woodrow Wilson, Baruch asserted that not even the safety of citizens, if carelessly placed in jeopardly, should serve as a war excuse. “No nationa has the right to go into the truble zone and expect this nation to back him if he gets into difficulties,” said the white-haired financier. “It is most important that this nation establish neutrality laws so no one can involve this country through the exercise of some parti cular right he claims.” With equal solemnity, on the oth er hand, he had urged preparedness as he appeared yesterday before the committee. Advising development of “certain types” of munitions during peacetime in government plants, he added today: “The government must be pre pared to expend large sums of money for the purpose of developing the uttermost effectiveness in plant and worker, and above all, to de velop through research, invention, and national igenuityS the ultimate in weapons of death.” Handling of Funds Illegal, Says Legislature Representative Sam J. Welsch, of Cobb county, made public a letter to Governor Talmadge Saturday in which he contends that a general ap propriation act is necessary if finan cial obligations of the state are to be met .legally over the next two years. Stating that the letter is not in a spirit of criticism, but merely an at tempt to deal with the question of appropriations from the legal stand point, Welsch cites sections of the constitution, the statute law and su preme court decisions to uphold his position. If the constitution and existing laws and court decisions “are to be respected,” he writes, “the state treasurer has no right to honor war rants drawn by the governor.” Mr. Welsch quotes the following laws: Article three, paragraph II (code section 6440) of the constitution of this state, provides as follows: Public money, how drawn—No money shall be drawn from the treasury except by appropriation made by law; and a regular state ment and account of the receipt and expenditure of all public money shall be published every three months, and also with the laws passed by each session of the general assem bly. Section 163 of the code of Georgia provides as follows: Payments from the treasury—All payments from the treasury, unless otherwise provided, shall be made upon the warrant of the governor, and he may withhold his approval on any account audited and certified by the comptroller-general. The war rant shall always specify on what appropriation or fund it is drawn. The question of the right or duty of the state treasurer to pay war rants drawn against him, unless an appropriation bill has been passed by the general assembly and approv ed by the governor under the con stitutiqfi and provisions above quot ed, has already been before the su preme court of Georgia, and Mr. Welsch quotes the decisions rendered by the court. “If the constitution,” rays Mr. Welsch, “Of our state, the statute law, and the decisions of the supreme court herein referred to, all of which are in harmony, are to be re spected, the state treasurer has no right to pay warrants drawn for the maintenance of the public schools of the state, the maintenance of the of fices of the various state institutions, the university and its branches, the soldiers’ pensions, the expenses of the various eleemosynary institu tions, or other regular operating ex penses of the state institutions, for the years 1936 and 1937, until and unless an appropriation bill shall have been passed by both branches of the general assembly and approv ed by you as governor and a war rnt has been drawn in terms of the low, specifying the particular fund to which the appropriation in charge able. . “I notice that you have approved the special appropriation bill of sl,- 000,000 for the University of Geor r gia system. You have also approved a bill appropriating SIOO,OOO to be used in the elimination of screw worms, glso other smaller appropri ation bills. It did not appear in the budget bill submitted by you that there was sufficient revenue avail able, as provided in subsection 2 a bove quoted, to pay the special ap propriations referred to. All of these special bills were passed with out the budget bill being finally adopted by both houses or approved by you, as governor. In view of this fact, the question necessarily arises as to the right of the state treasurer to pay these special ap propriations, even though a warrant for their payment is submitted. Foot Goe. To Sleep, Woman Break* Hip Athens, Ga.—Because her foot went to sleep, Mrs. E. D. Sledge is now in the General hospital with a broken right hip. Mrs. Sledge was dozing in a chair at her home on West Hancock ave nue last night. She decided to get up and go to bed. Upon arising she discovered that her foot had gone to sleep; but before she knew it, she had toppled to the floor and broke her right hip. Thursday, April 4, 1935. Pictures of Dr. Joe Jacobs and Dr. Long Hung Side by Side While “Crawford W. Long Day” was celebrated in Jefferson Saturday with fitting honors and Dr. Long is now universally recognized as the discoverer of the use of ether as an anesthetic, it is interesting to note that he was not always so indisputed ly recognized. Controversy raged for a long time around the question of prior discovery and the fight was even taken to the congress of the United Status at one time. Among those who so ably defended the rights of Dr. Long was the late Dr. Joseph Jacobs, founder of the chain of drug stores of that name located in Atlanta. Dr. Jacobs was born in Jefferson, and later studied medicine under Dr. Long in Athens. He la bored fearlessly for many years to win for Dr. Long universal recogni tion of the honor that was due him. Recently, a painting of Dr. Long was hung in the Crawford W. Long hospital in Atlanta, and beside it hangs a picture of Dr. Jacobs. 162 Acts of Legislature Vetoed Governor Talmadge vetoed 162 bills and resolutions passed by the legislature. Crammed into the waste basket were proposals over which legislators spent many weary hours, such as the old-age pensions; free school books; highway refunding certificates for public works loans; sterilization; the uniform seven-month school term and others. Even the Thompson bill making death the maximum penalty for ran som kidnaping was discarded. He vetoed bills seeking to estab lish a factory for the blind in Geor gia, to outlaw communistic activi ties and to put down sedition. The “bootleg gasoline tax bill, the existing act amended, which was de signed to stop a $500,000 leak in tax evasions, when via the same route. So did the measures making owners of dogs have them innoculnt ed against rabies, and providing for county boards or public welfare. Some o fthe other general meas ures vetoed were: Other Bill* Vetoed To license resident and non-resi dent fur dealers. A similar measure was included in the new general tax act signed by the governor. To declare slot machines contra band property. To pay accrued pensions of Con federate soldiers at their deaths, to their estates. Allowing the superintendent of banks to omit semi-annual examina tion of banks or trust companies not receiving deposits. Not admitting evidence procured illegally against criminal defendants. Allowing governor to vacate state offices where holder is employed simultaneously by federal govern ment. To incarcerate females under 18 years of age in the Georgia training school for girls rather than at the woman’s prison at Milledgeville, when convicted for misdemeanors. Outlawing use of lights for hunt ing deer and other game at night. Outlawing possession of seines traps or nets for fishing. Resolution requesting legilsatures of all states to exempt from taxes products of American farms. To provide for payment of burial expenses of Confederate pensioners. To pay past-due pensions, funeral expenses and physicians’ bills of de ceased veterans and widows. Requiring motor clubs to deposit funds in each county as bond for members arrested for misdemeanor traffic violations. Prohibiting storage of game and birds without permission. Authorizing counties to tax bar becue stands, road houses and dance halls. Allowing United States to acquire forest lands along Savannah river. Columbia county recently complet ed anew jail of the latest model, with heat, baths and all modern con veniences. It was opened January 20, and to date not a prisoner has darkened its doors. No prisoners are in sight, and the building is oc cupied only by the jailer and his family. Vol. 60. No. 30. Mr. Thos. A. Carithers Dies From Automobile Injuries Mr. Thomas A. Carithers died Sun day morning at a hospital in Ath ens from injuries received Saturday night when run over by an automo bile, driven by a Mr. Lord of Com merce. The accident occurred on the Jefferson-Winder highway, just west of the Jefferson Mills. Mr. Lord was coming into the city when Mr. Carithers stepped from a side road in front of the automobile and sustained injuries that caused his death. He was rushed to the hos pital in Athens, where one of his legs was amputated, but medical skill and the surgeons knife were unable to save his life. Mr. Carithers was a resident of the Jefferson Mills Village. He was 34 years of age, and was a son of Mr. Sam and Mrs. Sarah Porter Ca rithers. He is survived by his wid ow, who was a Miss Hollis; and by four children. His body was inter red in Woodbine cemetery Monday afternoon, services being conducted by Rev. J. A. Gray. IT IS TIME TO TAKE STOCK An interesting article, written by' Dr. Walter B. Pitkin, author of “Life Begins At Forty,” appeared in the current issue of Rotary Maga zine. He sets up a questionnaire of thirteen questions, which he states, if they can be answered with a “yes”, one’s power of relaxation shouid be rated high, otherwise “it is time to take stock of yourself.” “1. Are you in reasonably good health? “2. Do you sleep well? “3. Do you adjust your 'diet to fit the amount and kind of energy you use? “4. Do your muscles feel relaxed? “5. Do you work easily, passing on to others as much responsibility as your joy allows? “6. Do you forget your daily problems when you have locked the office door? “7. Do you get out <of dooimuch? “8. Do you easily forego smoking and hard liquor? “9. Do you take short and fre quent rest periods during working hours? “10. Do your leisure activities in terest and relax you? And, unless you are a single-track mind, finding your greatest joy in your work, are your activities reasonably varied? “11. Do you put ideas and prob lems out of your mind promptly and easily when this is needful? “12. Do you regard worry as silly and useless? “13. Do you refuse to fight dif ficulties and obstacles when, after studying them, you find them at least temporarily insurmountable?” GEORGIA LOSES 2,537 FARMS, JACKSON COUNTY LOSES 141 According to the preliminary count of the returns of the Supervisor of the 1935 Census of Agriculture, Jackson county had 2,8-iK farm on January 1, as compared with 2,979 on April 1, 1930. In other words, the county has lost 141 farms. To date, the number of farms in 67 Georgia counties tabulated by the census bureau has decreased from 83,090 in 1930, to 80,553 in 1935. Not all of the counties surveyed showed decreases. The largest in crease was noted in Ware county, which has 189 farms in 1935 than in 1930; Chatham showed an increase of 119; Schley, 114; Mclntosh, 60; Ef fingham, 48, and there were many other counties with increases which served to offset such large losses as were recorded in Wayne county, for example, where the number of farms decreased 1,040 in five years. Only Harris county showed no change, according to the census bureau’s figures, retaining 1,463 farms thro ughout this period. DON’T PARK ON PUBLIC ROAD Anew law went on the statute? books in Georgia Friday designed to decearse the number of automobile* accidents. It sets up a penalty for any per son to park a car, or other motor vehicle within eight feet of the cen ter line on a public highway. No matter what conditions prevail, it is a misdemeanor to violate the act.
